BRIEFS Adventhealth: Get your flu shot With flu season just around the corner, AdventHealth is issuing a reminder for people to get vaccinated to prevent an added burden on hospitals as health care workers continue to treat COVID-19 patients.

While COVID-19 hospitalizations are on the decline, Dr. Tim Hendrix, medical director of AdventHealth Centra Care said the public could start seeing those numbers rise up again.

At Centra Care facilities, Hendrix said about 30%-50% of adults get a flu shot each year, but they are aiming to increase that percentage for the 20202021 season. You can get both COVID-19 and the flu at the same time, he said, and if that happens, there is an increased chance patients will end up hospitalized.

Flu season officially begins in November, but cases could start as early as October, Hendrix said.

He said he believed money spent on collecting and reporting the data is wasted, unless the website is able to create an “apples to apples” analysis based on city size and makeup. As the dataset stands, any city with over 25,000 residents is considered large, meaning Ormond is being compared to cities like Miami and Orlando, whose populations far outnumber Ormond’s estimated 43,000 people.

“Hopefully the data collection and analysis will improve if the Florida House of Representatives are to keep funding this,” Partington said.

“Veterans are very understanding of what’s going on. For the most part, veterans have adapted and overcome.”

Safe places THREATENED How the pandemic has dealt a blow to veterans services

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

In normal times, about two dozen veterans get their only good meal of the day when they eat lunch together at American Legion Post 267, in Ormond Beach. During the pandemic, however, that meal was canceled for four of the past six months before the post was able to reopen again, on New Britain Avenue.

It’s just one example of the pandemic’s financial and emotional toll on veterans and on the organizations that support them.

“Being a single guy that lives alone, not having the meals affected me,” said Jerry Gomes, a Vietnam veteran who is also on the executive committee of Post 267. “This was my normal lunch, been that way for 10 years. When you live totally alone — I live in a 10-by-10 room — when I can get out and see people and just say hello, it’s a bonus.”

Camaraderie, for many, is just as important as the food.

Many veterans feel ostracized and can’t talk to nonveterans about their troubles, but the experience is much different at a gathering of veterans.

“They’ll say, ‘I know what you’re talking about. The same thing happened to me,’” said Jim Bowers, Vietnam veteran who is now commander for American Legion District 17, which includes 14 posts in Volusia, Flagler and Putnam counties. “People are finally able to be accepted.”

Keith Tremblay, commander of the Veterans of Foreign War Post 8696, said the building on Old Kings Road in Palm Coast is a “safe place.”

“War veterans usually don’t talk about it,” said Tremblay, who was in the Navy for seven years, including five years on submarines. “It’s a painful memory for them. But when they get around guys who were in it with them, they can talk about it. My father was in World War II, and the only

story he ever told me, I pressed him for it before he passed away.”

Even though the VFW Post 8696 building is open, many are too nervous about the pandemic to visit. Over 60% of the membership is over 60 years old, Tremblay said. But those who do attend are able to feel connected.

“A lot of our members, this is the only place to go,” said John Darrow, a Vietnam veteran who manages the canteen for VFW Post 8696. “A lot are widowers, and their families are up north.

It’s very important to these people. The socializing prevents a lot of mental disease.”

Tremblay added: “Emotionally, it’s needed. You have to have it.”

MEDICAL BENEFITS

The pandemic temporarily closed many veteran services organizations, and some remain closed, including the Disabled American Veterans office on Florida Park Drive, in Palm Coast.

Ernie Morris, of DAV Chapter 86, said the Veterans Administration no longer allows the DAV to transport veterans to medical appointments, and volunteers are often in vulnerable populations and unable to help.

“I’m frustrated, discouraged,” Morris said. “I did 24 years in the Navy, and I’m fully retired now.

I’m disabled, and the main thing I do to pass my time is I help veterans get their benefits. … Like everyone else, you reach the point where you get a little depressed over it.”

Each year, Chapter 86 gives about 700 rides to veterans, but now they’re having to do their appointments by phone or video.

Flagler County Veteran Services Officer David Lydon also coordinates medical benefits for veterans and says his own video appointments with a physical therapist sometimes feel “counterintuitive.”

“It’s kind of checking a box that they’re treating you, not the full

treatment,” he said. However, many veterans have shown their resilience.

“Veterans are very understanding of what’s going on,” Lydon said. “For the most part, veterans have adapted and overcome. I’m very pleasantly surprised.”

DONATIONS AND FUNDING

While many individuals are adapting, some organizations’ financial opportunities have been lost for good because of the pandemic. Many had to cancel fundraisers, including American Legion Post 267’s golf tournament that typically brings in about $12,000; the post lost an additional $15,000 in fundraising opportunities, bringing the total to $27,000. That means all the causes supported by the post — including Boys State and the Jerry Doliner Food Bank — won’t be getting their checks from the post this year.

The contributions are indicative of veterans’ desire to help others. “Every penny of it goes out into the community here in our area,” said Frank Sterbling, commander of Post 267.

Meanwhile, VFW Post 8696 lost $5,000 worth of food when the restaurant had to close down.

It has since reopened, but business is still down about 40%, Darrow said. Event organizers who rented the VFW hall in the past have also had to cancel most events, and that source of revenue is down about 90%, Tremblay said.

That financial hit comes as membership continues to decline.

The VFW accepts only veterans who fought in foreign lands, and today, Post 8696 has 639 members, down from 1,200 five years ago. “Last year, I had to remove 150 members from our rolls because they had passed away,” Tremblay said.

Some VFW posts already have dissolved. Similarly, Bowers said five of the 14 American

Jerry Gomes, a member of the executive committee of American Legion Post 267.

“It’s very heartwarming to help the veterans, especially those that are really in hard times, that don’t have any family. That’s what we’re here for.”

TONI ELLSWORTH, American Legion Auxiliary president

Legion posts in District 17 are in danger of closing permanently.

‘WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR’

Morris said he loves to serve veterans, and he’s not alone. Wayne Zack, of VFW Post 8696, said he helps to distribute day-old bread from supermarkets to veterans.

Tremblay said he recently helped a veteran move furniture. The American Legion and VFW have helped to pay bills for families in need — whether they were veterans or not.

Toni Ellsworth is the president of the American Legion Auxiliary for District 17, and she looks forward to returning to the Emory L. Bennet Veterans Nursing Home in Daytona Beach to throw birthday parties and provide other activities for veterans.

“My heart is with the veterans, and I think these guys know that very well,” said Ellsworth, whose father and brother were Army veterans. “It’s very heartwarming to help the veterans, especially those that are really in hard times, that don’t have any family.

That’s what we’re here for.”

School Board’s $992.1 million budget is up 7% from last year Will funding from the state change next semester?

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Volusia County School Board unanimously adopted a $992.1 million budget for fiscal year 2021 at its meeting on Tuesday, Sept.

8, a 7% increase from the 2020 budget, mainly attributed to the state giving Volusia $10.4 million to increase the base minimum for teachers’ salaries.

The board also set a millage rate of 5.907 mills (meaning about $5.91 will be collected for every $1,000 of taxable property value), which is 3.33% higher than

the rollback rate; a large portion of the total millage, known as the “required local effort” is determined by the state. This millage has steadily declined since 2016 but still accounts for 3.651 mills of the total property tax rate.

So what does that mean for the average homeowner? According to the budget presentation, a Volusia resident whose home is assessed at $159,513 and has a $25,000 homestead exemption will pay $794.57 in taxes. Accompanying budget documents show this is an increase of $32.58 from last year.

It’s too early to tell, said District Chief Financial Officer Debra Muller, but factors like the nine-day enrollment count, money spent on personal pro-

tective equipment and a possible mid-year cut by Florida Education Finance Program funding are sources of fiscal concern.

The district could also receive less funding for students attending Volusia Online. The FEFP allocates $5,447.73 per student enrolled in virtual learning as compared to $7,410.43 per students attending brick-and-mortar or Volusia Live, a figure that — while the Legislature increased it by $40 this year — Muller said is still below where it should be.

Before the recession, in the 2007-2008 school year, the statewide base student allocation was 44,163.47. It plummeted to $3,479.22 in 2011-2012.

“In that same time period, we’ve seen 24% inflation and the

COPS CORNER

base student allocation should really be over $5,000 per student or $843 higher than it is right now, resulting in underfunding for public education in Florida,” Muller said.

With about 9,100 students enrolled in Volusia Online, the district could see a funding difference of $17.9 million. If students don’t complete their online courses, Volusia stands to lose up to $67 million in funding.

“That’s the big piece of virtual is that the students have to complete or receive credit for their courses for us to get funding, period,” Muller said. “That’s more of a risk, I think, at this point, but we don’t know who will be coming back to brick and mortar next semester.”

Previously halted by recession, townhome project is revived The plans remain virtually the same as those approved in 2004.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A new townhome project is under design for Ormond Beach, and a neighborhood meeting held on Thursday, Sept. 3, gave citizens a preliminary look at what 60 units would look like by the Ormond Lakes subdivision off U.S. 1.

About 25 people attended the meeting held inside the Plantation Oaks clubhouse, where tables were limited to two people — one at each end of the table — and spaced out in the room to allow for social distancing. Project engineer Parker Mynchenberg, who also designed Plantation Oaks and Ormond Lakes, walked the meeting attendees through his proposed plans for the Ormond Grande project, which was previously approved in 2004 and began construction in 2006, but

stopped due to the recession.

“At that point, we also had [The Plantation Oaks] project, and a couple other ones we were working on,” Mynchenberg said. “We kind of put this one on hold.”

Before the development was halted, the water line was extended into the site, drainage was installed, stormwater retention ponds were dug and the site was filled, Mynchenberg explained.

The plans proposed now are virtually the same ones approved by the city in 2004; the 60-unit townhome project in the 1.4 acre

lot south of Ormond Lakes Boulevard includes a 3,600-squarefoot industrial building in the front. The only change, Mynchenberg said, is the addition of a 6-foot screening fence.

The townhomes will be two stories tall, and there will be a 30-foot buffer for the residents in Blockhouse Court and Lochwind Lane. The buffer is reduced to 20 feet for Deerskin Lane, though Mynchenberg owns the residential lot closest to the Ormond Grande project.

While Mynchenberg is not han-

dling construction — he’s only the designer — he estimated their cost could be around $250,000 to $300,000 based on the market.

It’s likely the industrial building in the project will be utilized as an office, he said.

When asked about the timeline of the project, Mynchenberg said it depended on the permitting process, but that construction could begin in January and be completed in one phase, depending on how fast the units sell.

Some Ormond Lakes citizens raised concerns about drainage, seeing as they’re already having issues without a new project to the south.

He assured residents that Ormond Grande will drain away from Ormond Lakes. He’s also leaving the majority of the wetlands onsite untouched, save for a small part of the one closest to Deerskin Lane.

No traffic light is planned, and Ormond Grande will have only one entrance and exit onto U.S. 1.

AUG. 26

INJURED ON THE JOB 8:24 a.m. — 700 block of South Nova Road Resisting an officer with violence. A 42-year-old Ormond Beach woman dislocated a police officer’s pinky finger during an arrest inside a local laundromat.

Officers had arrived at the scene after receiving a call that the woman was causing a disturbance.

Police report they found the woman at a folding table with laundry. They approached her and asked what was going on, and the woman “began making nonsensical statements and claimed she lost a bracelet with her name on it.” When police informed the woman she was going to be trespassed, she refused to leave.

As she resisted arrest, the officer was injured. Once she was escorted outside and medically cleared, the officer popped his finger back into place.

The woman was taken to jail.

WINE NIGHT 10:20 p.m. — intersection of I-95 and State Road 40 DUI. Police arrested a 58-year-old Daytona Beach woman who was drunk driving and ran a red light.

The reporting officer asked her to step out of the car, and the woman said she had irritable bowel syndrome and needed to use the restroom, but refused medical care. The officer took notice of the four bottles of wine in her passenger seat; bottle was empty.

When the woman exited her car, she was barefoot. She could not provide the officer with her address or date of birth, despite telling him she’d just had a birthday. She failed the field sobriety exercises, and during a later interview with police, told officers she had been going to “the store down the road,” and that she drank three small bottles of wine earlier that night.

She was taken to jail.

Remembering heroism of Sept. 11, 2001 Plantation Bay 9/11 Pentagon survivor shares his story

JARLEENE ALMENAS

HOMECOMING

ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A

loud explosion. A 28-acre building shaking. Smoke flooding the passageways.

That is how Plantation Bay resident William Toti remembers the impact of American Airlines Flight 77 crashing inside the Pentagon the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

“It was kind of a remarkable moment because you realize first that you’re alive — ‘I’m not dead’ — and that’s kind of joyous, but at the same moment you realize a whole bunch of other people have just been killed,” Toti recalled. “It was a really bizarre feeling, mixture of emotions. It didn’t last but a few seconds, because then I started running towards the point of impact.”

Toti will appear in a History Channel documentary titled, “9/11: The Pentagon.” It will air at 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attack.

The retired U.S. Navy captain worked in Adm. William Fallon’s office in the Department of Defense building, in the fourth floor of the Pentagon, and like every other day, they had CNN on to keep track of what was going on in the world. He had just watched the two planes hit the World Trade Center, and the Navy Command Center soon informed their office that a third plane had been hijacked and was heading toward the White House.

Toti, a former pilot, knew the White House would be too hard to spot from the air for such an attack.

He knew that, like the World Trade Center, the Pentagon had thousands of people inside — 20,000, in fact — many of them civilians.

Retired U.S. Navy Capt. William Toti remembers the events of 9/11 clearly.

“I said out loud, ‘It’s coming for us,’” Toti said. His conclusion frightened the office secretary, and Toti was immediately sorry he’d said it.

About two minutes later, the plane struck.

HELPING THE INJURED

After the second tower was hit in New York, back in Arlington, Virginia, Toti called his wife, Karen.

She wasn’t home; she had been at the gym. But he left a message on their answering machine telling her to take the kids out of school and stay home until he called again.

It would be almost four hours until she heard from Toti again.

Stop in and see us, it’s worth it!

After the crash, Toti and two other Navy officers ran through the smoke in the passageway trying to find people in need of help.

They ran until they saw sunlight through the smoke, signaling a hole in the building. They realized that the reason they hadn’t seen anyone else was that this part of the Pentagon had been vacated for renovations. They turned back.

Soon thereafter, Toti exited the Pentagon through the mall entrance, and, as they approached the heliport, Toti could see scraps of metal from the plane on the ground. He also came across bodies.

“It was all-consuming, and I would say for the first 20 minutes or so, the number of injured outweighed the number of us who were there to respond,” he said.

He noticed an emergency exit door nearby, and saw that there appeared to be someone stuck inside. He ran in to help, and ended up tripping over a woman. He called for help, and the woman was carried outside, so badly burned her skin was coming off in sheets in their hands, Toti said.

Her name was Antoinette. She mistook him for a doctor and asked him if she was going to

A total of 125 people were killed inside the Pentagon on 9-11, plus all 64 passengers aboard Flight 77. Toti knew at least a dozen of those who died, including his naval academy classmate Capt.

Gerald DeConto and Cmdr. Patrick Dunn, whose wife was pregnant at the time. Both were in the Navy Command Center when the plane crashed.

Many woke up that morning thinking they were going to come home that night, Toti said.

To get home, Toti told his wife over a borrowed cell phone to start driving north on the freeway and that he would walk south to the barrier where they would find each other. He was tired, filthy and loopy — he declined a ride from a state highway patrolman who saw him walking. The officer followed him in his car.

He remembers hugging his family when he arrived at the barrier. He smelled from the smoke.

“I just wanted to get home,” Toti said.

It was a day of tragedy, but also heroism, he added. Over the years, he’s told his story maybe half a dozen times, including when he was interviewed for the 2016 PBS documentary “9/11 Inside the Pentagon.” He was also interviewed for a six-part documentary series by the Discovery Channel that will air in 2021 for the 20th anniversary of the attacks.

Realizing 19 years have passed, and that there are people joining the Navy today who were born after 9/11, is sobering for Toti. He hopes telling his story will help people remember Americans are stronger together. After the attacks, the country came together in a way he had never seen in his lifetime.

“The country was so unified and speaking with one voice,” Toti said. “There were no Republicans or Democrats — there were Americans — and to see how far we have fallen since then with the country so polarized now, do we really have that short of memory that we don’t remember?”

Toti will be sharing his story during a 9/11 event at Ocean Art Gallery, located at 197 E. Granada Blvd., at 10 a.m., Friday, Sept. 11.

OBPD begins rubber duck outreach campaign JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Who let the ducks out?

For about the next two weeks, officers with the Ormond Beach Police Department will be “ducking” people to recognize good deeds in the community. It was an idea community outreach Officer Danielle Henderson decided to pursue for the department after she herself was handed a yellow rubber duck and thanked for her service while she was sitting at the base of the Granada Bridge.

“It made my day,” said Henderson, who has been part of OBPD’s outreach team for a month and half.

She and fellow officer Marianne Mele were trying to come up with a way to reach out to the community this summer since the department’s biggest event of the year, National Night Out, had to be canceled due to COVID-19.

And for that, they had to think outside the box.

OBPD normally holds outreach events for the community over the summer, but with the health restrictions in place, it was hard coming up with safe ways to connect with the citizens.

“We’re pretty lucky to have been ducked and come up with this idea,” Mele said. “It gives us a chance to reach out to the community and thank them for supporting us as well, which we normally do on National Night Out.” The first person to get “ducked” was Carlene Despard, vice president branch manager of the Ameris Bank located at 1259 W. Granada Blvd. Mele said Ameris Bank is a major annual supporter of National Night Out, and is always willing to help out the Police Department with other

community events. The bank also assists with OBPD’s Five-0 club, a middle school mentorship program.

Police Chief Jesse Godfrey gave kudos to Henderson and said, with the COVID-19 restrictions in place, this was a nice initiative for the department.

“To me, it’s the kickoff of going back to where we were, which is active involvement in our community, being engaged, and I appreciate everybody’s help on this — both within the department and all the businesses and all the people that are going to get ducked,” Godfrey said.

OBPD conducts 25 annual community outreach programs and events, including Coffee with a Cop, Santa on Patrol and the Citizens Police Academy. Capt.

Chris Roos said it’s important the community know the police is here for them.

“Especially in today’s climate, the national climate, sometimes we get a bad rep, but I think here in Ormond we do it different,” Roos said. “We actually do police work the way it’s supposed to be.

We are part of our community.”

Have you been “ducked?”

OBPD is urging citizens to take a selfie with their rubber duck and submit it via email to pdoutreach@ormondbeach.org to appear on OBPD’s Facebook page with #OBPDMightyDuck For more information, contact Mele or Henderson at marianne.mele@ormondbeach. org or danielle.henderson@ ormondbeach.org
